WinXp Registry Guide

The registry is the heart and soul of MS Windows XP. In my other registry books, I said the same thing about the registry in every version of Windows since MS Windows 95, and by the time you’re finished reading this book, I hope you’ll agree. The registry contains the configuration data that makes the operating system work. The registry enables developers to organize configuration data in ways that are impossible with other mechanisms, such as INI files. It’s behind just about every feature in Windows XP that you think is cool. More importantly, it enables you to customize Windows XP in ways you can’t through the user interface.

Windows XP and every application that runs on MS’s latest desktop operating system do absolutely nothing without consulting the registry first. When you double-click a file, Windows XP consults the registry to figure out what to do with it. When you install a device, Windows XP assigns resources to the device based on information in the registry and then stores the device’s configuration in the registry. When you run an application such as MS Word 2002, the application looks up your preferences in the registry. If you were to monitor the registry during a normal session, you’d see the registry serves up thousands of values within minutes.

In this book, you will learn how to customize the registry, but you must also learn how to take care of the registry. You must learn how to back up the registry so you can restore it if things go awry. You must also learn the best practices for editing the registry safely.

The registry isn’t just a hacker’s dream, though. The registry is an invaluable tool for the IT professional deploying, managing, and supporting Windows XP. Did you know that most policies in Group Policy and system policies are really settings in the registry? Does that give you any ideas? Did you know that scripting registry edits is one of the best ways to deploy settings to users? This book teaches you about policies, scripting, and much more. For example, you will learn how to deploy registry settings during Windows XP and MS Office XP installations. Some deployment problems can be solved only by using the registry, so I describe the most common IT workarounds, too. For example, I’ll show you how to prevent Windows XP from creating the MS Outlook Express icon on the desktop when a user logs on to the computer for the first time.

The tools, or hacks in this book reveal techniques that go well beyond basic management tasks found in most handbooks. Hacks range from those that deal with general administration to more esoteric hacks in the areas of network deployment, patch management, performance, security, and backup and recovery. No matter which Windows Server you use–NT, IIS, 2000, or 2003–Windows Server Hacks will put the knowledge and expertise of veteran system administrators to work for you.

For some time now, Microsoft Windows (in all its incarnations) has been the dominant desktop operating system for businesses small and large. But in recent years, the platform has also made significant inroads into the server side of the equation. In the late 1990s, for example, the now-legacy Windows NT 4.0 Server platform became popular for running web servers using IIS and largely displaced Novell NetWare in the file/print server arena. Other server applications that ran on top of NT, such as Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SQL Server, also made Windows a top platform for messaging/collaboration and database servers.

Windows 2000 Server built upon the success of NT by adding increased stability, reliability, and a new feature called Active Directory that quickly overtook Novell Directory Services (NDS) as the dominant enterprise-level directory service product. And Windows Server 2003, the latest incarnation of server-side Windows, is likely to further cement Microsoft’s dominant position in the enterprise, despite the serious challenges arising from Linux and other open source software.

Why has Microsoft made such rapid gains in the server market? The answer is found in the simplicity of administering the platforms. An easy-to-use GUI, a consistent set of tools, wizards that walk you through performing complex tasks—such features make it possible to learn how to install, configure, and maintain Windows servers in weeks, without any knowledge of a programming or scripting language or learning a lot of complicated command-line syntax. In fact, you can probably accomplish about 90% of all Windows administration without ever opening a command prompt or running a script.

But it’s that other 10% that can really matter sometimes, and that’s what this book is mainly about.
